Two sheep, who were sleeping while cuddling, were suddenly startled awake by a loud gong and drumbeat, causing their horns to bump together in fright.

In particular, Ines's horns were quite sharp, and they almost pierced Lan's chest.

But the two of them didn't complain at all, and quickly got dressed and left the room.

After all, Huang Cao had already reminded the two of them that they had to get up before 6:30 in the morning after dinner last night.

Moreover, they went to bed very early last night; they went to bed right after taking a shower and having dinner.

More than ten hours of sleep greatly helped them recover from the fatigue caused by yesterday's overtraining.

But perhaps they wanted to relax after their hard work. If it weren't for the Huang Cao waking them up, the two sheep could have slept until noon.

This is not a good sign; self-discipline is a prerequisite for combat effectiveness.

While ensuring sufficient rest, give full play to your initiative as much as possible.

Huang Cao truly taught her genuine skills; otherwise, she wouldn't have been so responsible.

After a quick breakfast, Ines and Lan began reviewing yesterday's training session.

In the morning, I do physical training; in the afternoon, I do specialized training; and in the evening, I practice with Master Huang to solidify my foundation.

As for the evening, this time should be used for rest and learning how to be a good maid.

Huang Cao took care of everyone's stomach problems.

Life went on like that.

With Master Huang's extraordinary help, it took less than half a month.

Ines and Lan possessed strength comparable to ordinary Utopia soldiers—here, soldiers refer to fully armed, heavily armored Utopia soldiers, not Abundance Warrior.

Regular training intensity was no longer sufficient for the two sheep, so Huang Cao decided to find something for them to do.

It was evening again.

"Sir, when you came home last night, I smelled a lot of perfume on you."

After yet another sparring session ended, Lan uttered those words, seemingly driven by some unknown thought.

Huang Cao shook her head and said, "It's not the scent of perfume. Don't worry about these things, children. Focus on your studies, and you'll understand later."

Because he has to go back every now and then to spend quality time with his wives, he always carries some of their scent on him.

Since Leithanian and Utopia are not far apart, Huang Cao can wake up the two sheep the next morning after going out for one night.

"I think our master went out to relieve stress; it's normal for young people."

Ines wasn't some clueless, obedient girl; once might be for going out to play, but twice was another story.

And the smell on him/her is different every time he/she comes back...

Okay, maybe there's one that's always been consistent, like Feline.

Ines has an incredibly keen sense of smell; could it be that this guy likes Feline's gentle and delicate nature?

Lan looked somewhat embarrassed. Having lived in the slums for so long, she had seen all sorts of shocking things.

"If you need it, sir, I can also..."

Lan spoke from the bottom of her heart, but without the slightest blush on her face.

Ines: "Huh?"

Dude, you actually went this far? I thought you were such an honest sheep...

They just went straight for it, aren't they afraid of crashing?

Huang Cao smacked Lan's large ram horn hard with the back of his hand:

"What do you take me for? I'm very chaste. The main thing is that I'm already married. When I'm away from home, I occasionally need to go back to ease my wives' longing for me."

"Why do I sound like a jerk?"

Ines immediately caught the crux of the matter in someone's words, "Wait, you just said wives? How many wives do you actually have?"

Huang Cao: "It's personal privacy, so I can't reveal it. Anyway, they'll all be your master's wives from now on, and you might have the chance to meet them in the future. If you don't show them respect, I might expel you from the sect."

Huang Cao's words were not merely stating a fact, but rather a thorough warning.

Moreover, it wasn't just Ines who was affected; Lan, who was nearby, was also impacted.

"In short, you probably won't have a chance to meet, because I'll be in Leithanian for no more than two years at most, and sometimes I'll have to squeeze in a month to go back and stay, so the time you have to spend with me is very limited. Make the most of this time to study hard."

Lan nodded. "I will absolutely not disgrace you, sir. Please trust me!"

Huang Cao: "In that case, I think it's time to give you a few missions. Take this map and this photo, and eliminate the people in the photo while ensuring your own safety."

Ines and Lan took a photograph and intelligence from the man's hands.

The above is a very detailed document about the leader of the Witch King Party.

It was so detailed that even what clothes to wear was written down clearly on the paper.

Because Herimath and Evignad had just completely broken ties with the Witch King's faction a few days prior, they were officially crowned as queens with the support of several Mobile City.

It is foreseeable that a civil war will break out in Leithanian within the next two years.

Even so, the fighting strength of the Witch King's side should not be underestimated.

So, in order to reduce trouble for the Black and White Emperors in the future, and also to give the two sheep in front of them something to do.

Huang Cao decided to let them find some easy targets to practice on first, and after they learned their skills, they would naturally find a place to test them out.

In any case, this member of the Witch King's Party wasn't particularly strong in combat. He knew magic, but compared to some specialized units, his skills were indeed lacking. The difficulty level was high, but not fatal.

It's perfect for practicing.

"I've mentioned this to you during my cultural lessons these past few days: the current situation in Leithanian can be roughly divided into the Witch King Party and the Empress Party, and I happen to support the Empress's side."

Huang Cao didn't hide his thoughts, but as for what came next, they would have to wait until Leithanian was completely under the control of the Black and White Empresses.

After a while, seeing that the two did not raise any objections, Huang Cao handed them the stealth suits and life-saving Seed that he had prepared beforehand.

"The mission is simple: reach the location, scout the situation, and kill the enemy."

"Retreat immediately after you succeed. Don't even think about taking any spoils. Although you won't lose your lives, I'm sure you'd never like being injured by magic."

Huang Cao continued, "When you return, I will give you three days off and a generous reward as your payment."

The money for these two sheep is still provided by the Black and White Empresses. I will definitely take these two cards back after I leave Leithanian in a year.

Both the Black and White Empresses are very sensitive women. Huang Cao considers it extremely impolite for them to give away the gifts they were given to themselves.

Chapter 416: The Crimson Troupe Wants to Come to Utopia?

After assigning tasks and other necessary matters, Ines and Lan bid farewell to their cheap master and embarked together on a journey to an unknown battle.

Since this member of the Witch King Party lived a distance from Huang Cao's villa, it would take at least half a month for him to travel there and back.

During these two weeks, in addition to closely monitoring the physical condition of the two people through the Seed, Huang Cao was also collecting information on the other two black and white sheep.

However, on the seventh day after Ines and the others left, Master Huang, who was dealing with state affairs, suddenly received a message from his subordinates.

A special organization called the Crimson Troupe has arrived at the border of Utopia, seemingly intending to enter the country through legal means.

"The Crimson Troupe, that name sounds familiar. Why are they coming to Utopia?"

Huang Cao pondered to himself that he didn't actually want to get involved in the Crimson Troupe's affairs before unifying Terra.

After all, there are countless monsters and demons on this land, and forcibly controlling them would only distract one's already limited energy.

Moreover, it's unclear who the forces behind these demons and monsters are.

For example, in Sami, Huang Cao's men found the flowers on the altar, but dared not directly awaken Kelsong was hiding behind the door.

The main issue is that we might not be able to win right now.

Huang Cao will only prepare to unleash a major attack on the Demons once his research on the Demons has made a breakthrough.

Having played with roguelike characters before, Huang Cao had already prepared sufficient measures to deal with the theater troupe through the Originium Database.

The Crimson Troupe is not particularly strong in combat; they came to Utopia simply to have fun.

The Troupe Leader, Dionysus, has probably already set his sights on Utopia, or rather, the Utopian people.

The troupe's fighting strength was not strong enough to stand up to any country's army; even Siergrag could easily wipe them out.

However, his escape skills are top-notch.

Therefore, even though it has harmed countless countries, it has always managed to escape unscathed.

Their stealth skills were so advanced that even the Tin Man thought the Crimson Troupe was just a mobile assassin organization.

That's pretty much the case.

However, whether the so-called drama can actually have an impact on the people of Utopia remains to be seen.

"Dare to target my people? That old bastard Dionysus has really bitten off more than he can chew. You want the audience to participate in your drama? Well, I'll give you a huge, all-you-can-eat audience."

A slight smile appeared on Huang Cao's lips as he directly gave orders to his troops.

"Give me over a hundred experienced but decisive and lively Abundance Warrior and have them teach this assassin organization a lesson."

Bad news: The Crimson Troupe likes to pick fights with audience members right after a performance.

Good news: They may not be able to defeat the Abundance Warrior.

In fact, almost no one knew the troupe's real name. The reason why Huang Cao's subordinates knew about the Crimson Troupe was simply because their lord had already established a database of all sorts of monsters and demons.

Therefore, by comparing the database, the intelligence staff within Utopia can easily make a judgment.

This theater company that wants to perform in Utopia is no benevolent organization.

Because the troupe maintains a low profile when not causing trouble, and the Troupe Leader is very knowledgeable about modern society.

If the people approving the applications don't know the troupe's background, they might just let them in.

Lured by the promise of free entertainment, this group of wicked individuals can easily attract a large number of unsuspecting onlookers, thus causing harm.

Fortunately, Huang Cao had anticipated this issue, so he was able to take preventative measures.

If these guys were to infiltrate Utopia, they might actually attract some unsuspecting Utopians to attend the play, and then it would be too late.

Although the Huang Cao can revive these people, it's not possible to keep begging the Cyber Ghost for help every day.

Because the requests were made many times, over time they became a favor.

Meanwhile, under the Golden Tree in Utopia.

The Troupe Leader Dionysus, was sitting on a bench with a group of people, slowly waiting for the border formalities from the Utopia authorities.

They even pitched a tent nearby, seemingly planning to stay for an extended period.

Among a large group of people, Dionysus, as the absolute leader of the troupe, has unlimited control over his subordinates.

The Troupe Leader, concealing himself entirely in the shadows, gracefully and methodically directed everyone to arrange the enormous amount of performance props.

Strangely, unlike most theater troupes that travel in a lively and bustling manner, the troupe that arrived at the border of Utopia this time seemed very lifeless.

In particular, a young man from Ursus kept casting pleading glances at the Utopia staff.

"Da Suo, what are you doing?"

The middle-aged man, who was actually acting as the announcer but was actually the Throat Tongue, kicked the Ursus youth hard, while looking at the Troupe Leader with a hint of admiration.

Meanwhile, some of the Utopia staff who had been observing from the sidelines were somewhat dissatisfied:

"Sir announcer, even if you are a foreigner, bullying employees within Utopia is strictly prohibited by law. Please watch your words and actions, otherwise I have an obligation to take compulsory removal measures against you."

The kind-hearted people of Utopia could not turn a blind eye to the evil before their eyes.

Even though the land occupied by the Crimson Troupe was not part of Utopia, but only a dozen meters away.

But it doesn't matter. There's no need to ask too many questions about the affairs of a superpower. The only question is border jurisdiction.

The Troupe Leader and playwright rose slightly, offered a very elegant greeting to the staff, and began to speak:

"I am very sorry, madam, for showing such an unpleasant side to someone as elegant and beautiful as you. Please accept this gem. Rest assured, this is merely my apology; I have no intention of making any request."

The Troupe Leader took a green gem from the box and respectfully handed it to the Utopia staff member guarding the door.

Although the gemstone was very beautiful, the female staff members did not want it.
